This is a beautiful zoo with incredible displays. I would have given it five stars, but there are a few adjustments that need to be made that would create a perfect experience . The most important thing is it is difficult to navigate around the zoo . My sister bought a membership it seem like miles to walk, and we got very lost, from where she paid for the membership to where she received the actual membership card. By the time she receive the card we were pooped . we than continue to get more lost. it seemed we spent most of our day trying to figure out how to navigate around the place, and then the park closes at 5 o clock rush hour . We went on a Tuesday during school because we didn t want to fight the crowds which was a good idea but when we left we were in the middle of rush hour traffic coming out of New York and halfway through Connecticut it took us twice as long to get home. They had signs up at the zoo and there was a key on the bottom, such as C3 area see for lions but when you look at the actual maps the alphabet letters and numbers were not on them so that was hard to follow we also had a brochure with a map that was hard to follow and there s a trolley at the zoo but it only stops at a few places . I travel a great deal I ve been to Bush Gardens, Disney World, many six flags parks on numerous occasions I don t have problems navigating around areas in general . They really need to do something about that. It wouldn t hurt to have a few trolleys that go to the parking areas. There was a lot of walking I have a blister on my foot. I wouldn t say don t go but take into consideration the traffic, and walking. Almost everyone looked exhausted .
